Scratch Build – In Progress Scratch Build Lizard Desk - project finished. Final photo session.

Yes. It's what I like the most. Half of the day I was grinding and milling. Bonding the second half. And looking at the pictures you can't see the effect.

But I estimate it's about 30 percent of the total project work progress.

I've already slightly molded one connection.





And glued the second one.

 

Lizard desk

It's really quite amazing.

In my head I can't see how it will stand up to the weight. But that's the best part, pushing the limits and surprising us all.

I love the PVC hidden in the edge and the way the desk tapers at the end. Stunning.

 

Thanks And in a weak or two you will see desk standing


-------------

The end of the table will contain a "drawer" with the motherboard. The rest I must fill with oak.



According to the project name I've put a carved lizard on the leg. Yet it's still a little "raw", but this will change

 

Grinding

A lot of grinding...

 

As you can see "lizard" is already in place. The particular shaping will take me a lot of time.

 

You sir, are a hero. This is unbelievable!

 

I hope it will be For now it's lot of wood. Nothing more

 

The connection between leg and top is already more or less made​​.
I've changed a lot of wood into dust

 

This is really awesome. But like already mentioned before, I really don't see how this will work when you're putting weight on it.... all the more reason to keep following this build

Love the inlay btw

 

Here are some pictures of the base. I know it's hard to imagine, but next week everything should be connected. As usual, a lot of less spectacular but necessary work. Bonding, however, takes a very long time without a microwave: (

 

Now the desk is standing.

And this time, I'm sorry for the quality of my photos. Tomorrow I will show some update.

The "foot" is parallel to the tabletop. Height 80 cm. Bevel/slant is made only due to perspective. Foot still requires a lot of work. But the general shape of the structure is now visible.





Another interesting aspect is the center of gravity. As can be seen it is strongly shifted toward the "leg".

 

frigging awesome build, love the lizards,

the last few pics make alot of sense now, and kinda looks like an ace space station as well

 

Thanks !! I wanted to make it look "modern" and "old" in the same time

Today, a few shots in different lighting conditions. Changes are virtually invisible. Until the grinding there will not be any spectacular changes Now I'm just gluing an additional kilograms of oak.

 

*Droooool.
I think you can also add "organic" and "classy" to the description.
You have my eyeing a bunch of redwood scraps I have in a bad way.
Are power cables and stuff going to be routed through the leg?

 

Thank you

And yes. That is my intension. I'm still not sure how, and what will be mounted inside. (Still problems with sponsorship, so maybe my budget will be very low.) But the "leg" is empty. So I can use that space for cables, maybe ups, or sound system.

 

awesome project you got going here. Keep up the hard, good work.

 

That table looks at the same time so futuristic and yet non-fake retro classy at the same time it's insane! Loving this big time.

 

Thank you for your kind words Very much.

 

You have some serious skill man, that is awesome!!

 

This is just awesome, keep it up man!

Reminds me of some kind a "star trek" theme with its look
